Former Ney Staffer To Testify

Neil Volz, Ney's former chief of staff, is expected to provide testimony about the 2002 golfing trip organized by disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff for Ney, several of his aides, and Ralph Reed. Though he continues to assert his innocence, Ney is the subject of a criminal investigation and in the middle of a tough re-election battle. Reed meanwhile continues to see his campaign for Georgia's Lieutenant Governor seat dogged by his close relationship with Abramoff.
